2019 LEAF SL WITH PRO PILOT & AUTO EMERGENCY BRAKING WITH PEDESTRIAN DETCTION

[Disorder]

MY 2019 LEAF Has Pro Pilot Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Control
How Can you test it to make sure it is working?
i have tried Aiming the car towards a Large object And nothing at all Happens
is there a way to test it i don't think its working and from what i have read
its always on once engaged when you go down the screen to turn it on
i have had some emergency stops and still nothing
has Anybody out there Have any experience with this?

Mine starts beeping almost every time I pull up to my house too quickly. I don’t want to advise you to run into your house but it should alert you a fair bit before the point of no return.

Try a large garbage bag with a quart of water in the bottom, filled with air.

Put your car in reverse & with the drivers door open try backing up faster than about 5mph... It's jarring..trust me

Hi All,
I have a 2019 SV with the mentions feature set.
I can't confirm pedestrian detection yet but all the other detections work.
The rear detection is very useful when backing out of a blind parking space. If there is any motion behind you or to to the sides you will get a beep and the blind spot indicator in the side view will flash on the side the motion is on. It's pretty sensitive so there will be false positives in that depending on the angle of your car and the layout of the parking lot it will see motion in places other than directly near you. It makes me look again and that's fine with me.
Front collision works as well. If you approach a stopped car to fast and aren't slowing it will beep then change tone I believe then apply brakes.
I can't say it will actually stop you before you hit but it will slow you down.
It does get disabled in heavy rain or if there is snow on the sensor. An indicator shows on the center screen when this happens.

Hope that helps,
Greg

I can confirm that emergency braking works on my 2019 SL. More than once I have been using adaptive cruise control on the freeway, maintaining proper following distance, only to have someone change lanes abruptly in front of me going 20 MPH slower than I am then slam on their brakes. After a beep or two, the LEAF will dutifully slam on its brakes.

No Matter what i do it does not engage the system
I can see a sensor under the front end of the car
I called the dealer and they said to bring it in
There 70 miles away there is a whole day gone and a 150 miles of traffic
and more than likely if the sensor is bad
They probably won't have it in stock
then i would have to go back again another wasted day
I dont Trust Service Departments at dealerships
Usually it a few young kids working there that don't look
old enough to Be able to Vote I was just looking for a simple way
to avoid the Hassle of going to the service Department
There ok for recalls which are easy but a far as diagnosing
im not confident in there abilities just my two cents
From Previous experiences am i wrong?

I was serious about the garbage bag. It should engage the AEB but if it doesn't there should be no damage to the car.

I thought you where Messing Around with Me Being a Smart Alec ?
A Trash Bag you mean The Big Black Ones That we use to use?
All I Have Are Tall Kitchen Trash Bags not very big
and Empty Wood Pellet 40 Pound Bags not very big
I have not used a Big Trash Bag in so many Years
How many gallons are you Suggesting? a 32-40 Gallon Bag?

Yes, you want one large enough to be child-sized, but not so thick and heavy as to cause damage if hit. The quart of water is just to hold it in place.
